Ok, I have seen every fresh find in the world now! I used to build 65/66 Mustangs I found a couple of guys in Orlando that had Mustang stuff like this. WOW! That tops any thing I've seen (anybody need Mustang convertibile sunvisors 65/66? Black padded?)For Real.

What is up with all the Green(two tone) straight bar frames?

Seems to have a lot of black rod brake bikes.

That tan/brown Schwinn is fairly rare.

 

[HotRodRob]

Man! that guy's got some tonnage there!

 

[yoothgeye]

Yeah, looks like he likes old Raleigh bikes.

Double yeah: What'd you get!

I just want 1 26" springer fork, that's all I need! haha

 

[beatcad]

there were a bunch of springers and parts to build a dozen more.
my buddy might go back next week. if he does i might give him some bread to get me a couple.

the story on those 2-tone green frames are they were from some old schwinn dealer. they are unused replacement frames.
no headbadges and no serial #s. bunch of straight bars and a few canti frames.
the guy knew his schwinns, so i didnt question him about it.

lucky for me he mostly knew schwinn, so when i made my pile of "off brand" stuff he didnt kill me on price.
i still spent more than i wanted to.

Whoa...is that heaven? :shock:

Whats that springer fork in pic. five blue w/light falling off ?

 

[outskirtscustoms]

Wow! that's a picker's paradise. I know a guy here in kokomo that has a collection like this but he doesn't sell very often.

 

[deorman]

National Bohemian? :? Weird, it doesn't look like your garage. :mrgreen:

 

[dragnusa]

I love the red one with the tanks that look like they have intakes on them

 

[beatcad]

WOW ID PAY TO LOOK AROUND what did ya get

2 more elgins and 2 unknowns.
i'll post them in the fresh finds in a few minutes.
